I think you would admit it is not the sharpest photo in the world, but that is missing the point really.For the distance of the bird and the subject your results are quite outstanding.voted
Oh wow, superb timing to get this shot. Nice one & voted.

Hi,
Just stumbled across your site while reading your review of the Sigma 300 - 800 + 2x teleconverter on Fred M's site. What a superb shot!!!..
Regards,
Iain.
P.S. Could you see the 'bug' through the lens?
This bird was so far away (over 60 meters), that I had to snap on a 2x TC to the 800 mm Sigmonster to bring it a bit closer. Even then, I still have to heavily crop. It previously caught the insect in a flying swoop, returned to the perch, then flipped the prey in mid-air before swallowing it. I got lucky in timing the shutter press.
